How many over all Lakewood Cases are from old age homes/ senior developments
ReplyDeleteAnd how many is from everyone else ??
The ratio is about 40% nursing home and about 55-60% seniors. About 45-40% of the hospitalizations are those under 65. About 30% of those under 35 end up in the hospital. That is nationally but that should be the approximate of Lakewood and the Lakewood community area.
DeleteYour statistics are insanely inflated https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html
DeleteCan Back yard camps open
ReplyDeleteYou are guessing Lakewood is the same ??
ReplyDeleteOr you know ??
What value is a guess
Well, given the population of Lakewood it is more likely to be closer to the mean than most communities.
DeleteWhy are shuls not enforcing mask use? Why are people not keeping social distancing?
ReplyDeleteHow do you expect “Shuls” to enforce? No one is interested in being a police man, the gabbaim don’t get paid enough for what they do as it is now you want them to enforce a rule that no one wants? It’s unfair and unreasonable to request that.
DeleteWe aren't enforcing mask use because the surgeon general of the US has admitted there is no reason to, and in a makom Kodesh we are giving honor to hashem and not to random rules by a basar vdam.
ReplyDeleteIf you are makpid on social distancing, find a shul that is doing it. Many of the more modern ones are, because they feel that listening to Murphy is more important than the tzura of a bais medrash.
If you feel that there truly is a Sakannah then you should stay home. The virus doesn't have a hard stop at 6 feet, regardless of the governors orders.
